A Bizarre Book

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Masterpiece by Chiemeka Nicely is the most bizarre book I have ever read. It was so disjointed that I struggled to follow along with the storyline, and because of that, I could not quite be astounded by any plot twists that occurred in the novel.
I really needed a who's who and vocabulary list to follow along because suddenly this person is this relationship to this person when they were not before.
This book rubbed me the wrong way because it felt too preachy like I know better than you. Everything I know is more important than what you know. The POV is supposed to be first-person but came across more like the third person. It should only be what that person is privy to, and not all of a sudden, let me tell you about what this other character did, and I suddenly miraculously appeared on the scene.
I needed more information because I found it hard to get into the story when it starts out in a textbook-like manner and then goes into the story with random textbook-like things at the end of some chapters. Also, the name of the country/continent should be changed, if you are creating this whole new world and planet that you don't want the earth to know about. Maybe you should change it so that it does not start and end in a because here's the funny thing about brains. They only need to see the first and last letter in the right order with all the letters in a different order to automatically rearrange the words (in this case, I kept reading it as Africa, not Acirfa).
I don't know what the author was trying to accomplish, but I haven't had a book rub me the wrong way since Harry Potter. So, who knows, maybe this book will become a classic (because I cannot stand classics with a passion), but this book did nothing for me except make me feel like I should drown my Kindle, so I never had to read such a disjointed book ever again.
I will not continue the series.
The three positive things about this book are that the cover is gorgeous and drew me to pick the story. The novel blurb sounded fantastic because who does not like colonialistic stories where the main character needs to rise and save herself and her people? (Kudos to the author for not having the white savior trope.) Lastly, near the end, when she started going through her chakras and identifying what they represent, I wish that kind of detail was in the rest of the book.

2.5 out of 5 stars
